This is an egg that was stuck for many months:






My best guess is that it started as just one egg and the eggs kept coming down the pipe and it grew into this.

Wow. Glad I can't smell it. That is quite the mass.

I think it weighed about 1.1 pounds (500 grams).

That is enormous percentage-wise inside an itty-bitty hen.

It is, especially considering how small she was.

That's very interesting. So a ruptured fallopian tube?

This is what the tract should have looked like: Instead it looked like this: -Kathy

Chicken organs I added the website it came from. It looks like that messed up organ above the egg is the liver. The photo where you have cut it open shows how very unhealthy the tissue is. The yellow areas are fat. Fatty liver is very bad. This is my soap box...it is not meant to offend anyone: fatty liver is associated with GMO corn and or glycosphate, both of which non-organic feed is full of. And add in liver cancer, which I am not able to identify, though the liver tissue is clearly abnormal. The article linked below is on the study for two years, and it includes some photos. This is the study that was pulled from a major journal, then underwent more peer review before being republished in a different journal. Notably, the editor who added it to the first journal was fired when the article was pulled, and replaced with a former Monsanto employee. Also notable is that the article was found to not have any problems, nor any conflicts of interest by the authors. A last note is that the rats used for the study are a special line that does get cancer, by design. However, the ages and severity are what are notable and if I recall, that was discussed in the study. http://www.naturalnews.com/037249_GMO_study_cancer_tumors_organ_damage.html

Thanks for your post and picture. I can assure that the organ was *not* her liver and that her liver looked fine, almost good enough to eat. I have seen fatty liver before, and this was *not* fatty liver. I didn't bother taken any pictures of the other organs because they looked fine. Additionally, the mass was connected to the cloaca.
